Why Your Sexual Health is Crucial, Your Erotic Blueprint and Understanding Your Sexual Archetype. Jaiya

Did you have a good sex education? Almost nobody does or did. & that is why there is so much shame around the topic of sex, & why we are so unaware of the profound healing & health potential that exists in the sexual realm. I also love it because it brings it back to everyone’s uniqueness, & their unique sexual “data”. This was an enlightening & enjoyable podcast, & one I truly beg every one in Thrive Nation to listen to and even better listen to with their partner. Take her sex-life changing quiz now. Jaiya is a sexologist who is passionate about helping people learn about their sexuality so they can have both deep love & hot passionate sex for a lifetime.  She believes sex is much more than intercourse – it is healing, sacred & pleasure, and something that isn’t just done but central & essential to health and vitality.Her mission is to help people gain access to erotic ecstasy. She is committed to shifting the cultural view of sexuality from being something that is bad, wrong or shameful to something seen as healthy, worth cultivating & celebrating. But she discovered that sexual techniques don’t create lasting passion & sexual satisfaction because sexual satisfaction is not one size fits all. That is what inspired her to develop Erotic Blueprints, a map of sexual arousal that reveals everyone’s unique erotic language. Her program & courses have been taken by tens of thousands of people. She has been a speaker for Tony Robbins, Mama Gena, Neil Strauss and Esther Perel, &  been seen on Netflix’s ‘sex, love & goop’, Ricki Lake, The Doctors, Good Morning America, Nightline, The Anderson Show, The Tyra Banks Show, TLC, CNN or Playboy TV.

Unpacking Emotional Health, The Power of Group Therapy and Group Healing. Dr Erica Matluck ND

Health is about much more than the physical. Even more than the mental. I sense more and more ill health and disease are coming from people’s lack of care for their emotional and spiritual worlds. That’s why I brought Dr Erica Matluck on the show. She is doing the type of holistic medicine I believe in the next decades will become more mainstream than alternative. Dr Erica Matluck is trained as a Naturopathic Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Reiki Master, massage therapist, and vinyasa and kundalini yoga instructor, and is teaching people to live more holistic, meaningful lives. After time in clinical practice and particularly inspired by seeing patients in groups, she created Seven Senses, which is the authentic expression of the sum total of her work.It is a new paradigm of care- one where your health and your life are not separate. The work is done in partnership where it is redefined what wellbeing means to you and we address the physical, mental, emotional and energetic obstacles in your way. It is a holistic experience, where people heal, grow, gain new perspective, transcend limiting beliefs about themselves and their life and discover the creator that they are. Dr Matluck truly believes that everyone has the ability to thrive, and when we are all in this state our collective potential is infinite.  Join us as we explore:Redefining what holistic medicine actually is, her four-quadrant model and why Dr Matluck’s typical patient has done excessive mind work but has forgotten what it means to be living in their body.Why emotional health is the most underappreciated area of our health, how that has translated to the area with the least skill and awareness and why so many people are on the extremes – emotionally numb or emotionally sensitive. The big word of this podcast – safety. And how the spectrum and vessel of safety is much more complex than we recognize. Group work, and why Dr Erica and I believe the power of the group is what of the fundamental shifts we need to make in the world of medicine and healing.The five ancient healing therapies, like the human universal of storytelling, and the role they play in Dr Erica’s work.Contact:Website - https://www.experiencesevensenses.com/meet-dr-erica-matluckSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

The Omega 3 Masterclass: EPA, DHA, Algae, Oily Fish and the Miracle Benefits against the Four Horsemen of Disease. Dr Bill Harris Ph.D

Here’s the truth - you cannot be healthy any longer living in an urban environment without supplements. Yet people are always reluctant to spend more on supplements, and also feel confused by the amount and variety on offer. But I am convinced that alongside vitamin d, anyone not living near the sea and eating fresh seafood needs to take supplementary omega 3. Its holistic and synergistic function on your health cannot be overstated, and that was confirmed again by the omega expert Dr Bill Harris.Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He obtained his doctorate from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism. He is now a Professor in the Department of Medicine in the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota and the President and CEO of OmegaQuant.Dr Harris’s interest in omega-3 fatty acids began with his postdoctoral work when he published his first study on the effects of salmon oil on serum lipids in humans (1980). Since that time he has been the recipient of five NIH grants for studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on human health. He has more than 300 publications relating to fatty acids, including omega-3s, in medical literature and was an author on two American Heart Association scientific statements on fatty acids: “Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease” (2002), and “Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Risk for Cardiovascular Disease” (2009) both published in the journal Circulation.Join us as we explore:What we are even talking about when it comes to fatty acids including PUFAs, omegas and the incredible story of how omega’s lifesaving benefits were discovered.The potentially life-saving role of omegas in guarding against the four killer horsemen of cancer, metabolic, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease. The best way to get omega3 into your body – from what’s to how’s to how much. Why even I myself, taking 2 grams a day and eating sardines almost every day, cannot get my omega ratio right!Dr. Harris’s expert omega company OmegaQuant, and why their tests and technology are the market leaders.Contact:Website - https://omegaquant.com   Mentions:Study – Framingham study, https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/science/framingham-heart-study-fhsSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Healing Trauma, How to Change, and the Science of Stuck with Britt Frank LSCSW, SEP

Trauma is a big word these days. I hear it now everywhere all the time. But if everything and anything is traumatic, are we left with a world of only trauma and traumatised people, and where is the space for resilience, overcoming and growth? That’s why I can’t believe how perfect the timing was for this podcast with Britt Frank. Britt is no stranger to trauma, listen to find out how much trauma, but she is not allowing herself to be defined by it and is teaching people to move beyond their “stuck”. She strikes a beautiful balance of yin and yang in her work, and because the world is tough, it comes down to us “choosing our hard” and whether we want to suffer in pain and disease or strive to find healing and health.Britt Frank, LSCSW, SEP is a licensed neuropsychotherapist and author of The Science of Stuck (Penguin Random House), named by SHRM, Esquire, New York Magazine, and The Next Big Idea Club as a must-read. Britt received her undergraduate degree from Duke University and her master’s degree from the University of Kansas, where she later became an award-winning adjunct instructor. Britt is a contributing writer to Psychology Today and her work has been featured in Forbes, NPR, Fast Company, Psych Central, SELF, and Thrive Global.Join us as we explore:Britt’s unique definition of trauma which brings a fresh degree of agency to the term because “brain do brain things” and what makes her “science of stuck” different.Why the enemy is “not within”, and why partnering with our brains by believing it is on your side is a trauma game-changer.Why the highly sensitive person and the emotional being is more vulnerable to internalizing events as traumatic but also why sensitivity is a superpower that should be leaned into.Why the use of “war words” is creating confusion in the mental and emotional health world, and why new words and new choices, including microchoices, are everyone’s most important choice.The trauma toolkit. What’s right for you and your circumstances? DBT, EFT, IFS, SE and more. How to teach trauma to the next generation, and why that does NOT begin with “validating all feelings and therefore excusing all behavior” but also why the future of the next generation begins with un-infantilizing the present generation.The power of communities to safeguard against trauma, but more crucially what these communities need to model.Contact:Website - https://www.scienceofstuck.coBook - https://www.scienceofstuck.com/bookMentionsDBT – Technique, Support the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Health Data 101: Wearables, Sleep Scores, & The Why and What of Health Tracking

We each have our own unique why. A calling. A mission. My guest today Erik Korem has a mission to keep people to account. He has spent considerable time and effort studying all the companies promising their devices can change your health, actually checking the research & calling it like it is. We have interesting debates in the show, but ultimately we agree, data is not valuable without the human capital component that it must be partnered with.Erik Korem is on a mission to help people change their world with his relentless pursuit of high performance.

The DNA 101 Masterclass: Understanding and Interpreting Your Genetics. Kashif Khan: Author of the DNA Way

Would you believe your genes could predict what job you should do, how to manage family politics and what kind of intimate partner you would be most attracted to? I wasn’t sure about it, but I was blown away by the calling and confidence of my genetic expert guest today Kashif Khan. Yes, Kashif is a genetic detective, and has transformed lives by unpacking their biological code, but at the same time he also knows those genes are not your destiny and while genes can load the gun it will still be how you live your life that pulls the epigenetic triggers.And because you are here you are getting a special discounted code from Kashif’s company The DNA Code:  www.dnacompany.com/thriveKashif Khan is Chief Executive Officer and Founder of The DNA Company, where personalized medicine is being pioneered through unique insights into the human genome. As Kashif dove into the field of functional genomics as the CEO of The DNA Company, it was revealed that his neural wiring was actually genetically designed to be entrepreneurial. However, his genes also revealed a particular sensitivity to pollutants. Seeing his health from a new lens Kashif dove further and started to see the genetic pathways that led to his own family's challenges, and the opportunities to reverse chronic disease. His measure of success is not in dollars earned, but in lives improved. Science outreach has become a passion project for Kashif, and he educates about functional genomics in an accessible format on his podcast, The Unpilled Podcast and his social media platforms. He is the author of the new book The DNA Way: Unlock the Secrets of Your Genes to Revere Disease, Slow Aging and Achieve Optimal Wellness. Join us as we explore:Kashif’s pain-to-purpose story. Burdened by a variety of chronic conditions, Kashif discovered he was missing genes that made him particularly sensitive to environmental pollutants and with that knowledge not only reversed his chronic ailments but reversed his biological age.The incredible story of Kashif’s niece who out of nowhere began expressing extreme anxiety and inexplicable behavior, and how Kashif used her genetics to unravel why! You won’t believe what the root cause was.Kashif’s more practical and applicable way of looking at biology and genetics, and why data is dumb unless you know how to interpret it and implement those insights into your life with real action.If it is possible that just 100 of our 22,000 genes are the ones that manifest chronic disease?Kashif’s mind-blowing claim that if he has your genetic profile he can tell whether you should be a doctor, lawyer or entrepreneur, and even wSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

The End of Alzheimers, Strategies & Tools for Anxiety, Depression, & Cognitive Decline, & How to Upgrade your Mental Performance. Dr Dale Bredesen MD

Dr Dale Bredesen has demonstrated that we have entered into the new era of Alzheimer’s care, and that we are already amongst the horrible disease’s first survivors. He makes an incredibly bold statement that getting Alzheimer’s disease is “truly optional”. Wow! What an incredible message of self-empowerment and hope. We need this episode more than ever to provide the increasing number of people and their families impacted by Alzheimer’s hope and that they can get their mind back and therefore their life back.Dale E. Bredesen, MD, received his undergraduate degree from Caltech and his medical degree from Duke University. He served as resident and chief resident in neurology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and as postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Professor Stanley Prusiner. He was a faculty member at UCLA from 1989 to 1994, and was then recruited by the Burnham Institute to direct the Program on Aging. In 1998, he became the founding president and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and adjunct professor at UCSF. In 2013, he returned to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as director of the Easton Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research.The Bredesen Laboratory studies basic mechanisms underlying the neurodegenerative process and the translation of this knowledge into effective therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, which has led to the publication of over 200 research papers. He is the principal investigator for the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at UCLA. He established the ADDN (Alzheimer’s Drug Development Network) with Dr. Varghese John in 2008, leading to the identification of new classes of therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease. His group has developed a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, the MEND protocol, and this approach has led to the first description of a reversal of symptoms in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer’s disease.Join us as we explore:The forefront of both Alzheimer’s disease research and treatment, and why most neurologists are stuck in the past and ineffective treatment, including stories from Dr Bredeson’s new book detailing how his approach has already reversed Alzheimer’s disease in his patients.The 7 fundamental pieces of Alzheimer’s prevention and treatment, including treating the vicious prionic loop.Why everyone over 40 needs to do a “cognoscopy”, and don’t worry it’s a lot more pleasant than a colonoscopy! Dr Bredeson’s research and experimentally backed theory that neurodegenerative diseases are about a gap between supply and demand in your brain’s Support the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.
